Of course. They have been doing this for years. Nothing is off the grid.

I remember a 60 minutes show back several decades where they pieced together a couples lifestyle very easily. They knew what they ate and drank, how much they drove, what they did for entertainment, went on vacation, etc.

With today’s technology it will be much easier. There are credit card records, shopping card records, video cameras everywhere, internet surveillance including keyword AI, recorded phone calls, I even suspect snail mail is being read and data collected on the types of magazines and catalogs we receive. There are likely lists of people the government will cease first in each geographic location. None of that will stop my voice in supporting liberty and freedom.

There are places for those too timid to at least redress their government when they think they are wrong. The men who founded this nation could have just as well said that independence was a great idea but, it might anger the King.
How do any of you whiners expect the cowards you elect to be any better than you are.

(The contents of your wallet is the only language Politicians understand.)

Even worse, the registration includes your real first and last names, your real email address, and your real ZIP code. At that point it's a piece of cake for anybody with access to a rudimentary data base to find your address, phone number, and a vast amount of other data, probably including your mother's maiden name. Even worse, once your name is on this petition, they will definitely know you are an enemy who probably owns one or more guns, meaning you'll be one of the first people they'll come after.

Just remember what happened to the dissidents who accepted Chairman Mao's offer to be the flowers of criticism in his “let a thousand flowers bloom” campaign. They were hunted down and either liquidated or re-educated. Of course, our own Great Leader would never do such a thing.
